Overview

Textbooks can be very expensive to buy. College students often turn to online sources to find textbooks at cheap prices such as Amazon, textbooks.com, or eCampus.com. Another very popular site for textbooks is Chegg. Chegg is an online company that lets students rent textbooks at cheaper prices. Chegg was started in 2001. It was started by three students from Iowa State University.

Students often sell their textbooks after a semester is over, because they probably won’t need them after the class has ended. Chegg allows students to rent the textbooks, which means they can return them after the semester is over, and also help save trees by printing fewer books. Chegg can be found at www.chegg.com. It is an easy site to use. Just type in the book you are looking for and Chegg lets you rent the book at a price that should be cheaper than buying it. The book is then due back to Chegg at the end of the semester. Chegg will send you a label through e-mail, that you can then put on the package and have the books sent back for free. Chegg has also been dedicated to helping stop deforestation. They promise that with every textbook that is rented, they will plant a tree. Chegg has been able to plant five million trees. The fact that renting from Chegg will also help the environment is a great reason to use Chegg.com.

I have used Chegg for many of my textbooks, and I have found it to be a very helpful place to get textbooks. Chegg allows for some highlighting in the textbook, but not writing. Therefore, the textbooks are usually in fairly good shape. Chegg.com is definitely a great place to rent textbooks.
